Exploring Nudging Strategies to Encourage Rectangular Collimation in Pediatric Dentistry.

Objectives

This study aimed to assess whether behavioural “nudge” strategies, specifically pictorial framing and traffic light color coding influence pediatric dentists’ perceptions and adoption of rectangular collimation. Rectangular collimation is an evidence-based radiation minimizing technique recommended for intraoral dental radiographs.

Methods

An online survey was distributed to active members of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry in the United States and Canada. Participants were randomly allocated to one of three study arms; Control (text only), Pictorial (visual framing) and Traffic-Light Color Coding (TLCC, color priming using red-green framing). All groups received background information on rectangular collimation, followed by an initial questionnaire assessing knowledge, awareness and barriers to rectangular collimation. Three case scenarios were presented which addressed radiation risk, retake concern, training and financial barriers. Post intervention survey included information on willingness to adopt rectangular collimation, helpfulness of the case scenarios and demographics. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted using Microsoft Excel and SPSS, with significance set at p< 0.05.

Results

A total of 214 pediatric dentists completed the survey (Control=86; Pictorial =64, TLCC = 64). While 91% were aware of rectangular collimation, only 19% reported using it (Table 1) . The most cited barriers were concerns about cone cuts (53%), and lack of training (29%) (Table 2). Following the intervention, 68% found case-based scenarios helpful (Graph 1), and 35% indicated they were likely to adopt rectangular collimation (Graph 2). Comparative statistics are outstanding.

Influence of Artificial Intelligence on Caries Detection and Treatment Decisions in Pediatric Dentistry: A Pilot Study.

Mathew T1, Vora SR1

1Oral Heath Science, Faculty of Dentistry, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.

Objectives

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly used to aid radiographic diagnosis in dentistry, particularly for caries detection. While these tools may enhance early lesion identification and support non-invasive management, they also risk altering clinical judgments, potentially leading to over-diagnosis or over-treatment. This pilot study aimed to evaluate how one such commercially available AI tool - DiagnocatTM, influences clinicians’ decisions regarding caries detection and treatment planning in primary teeth.

Methods

Thirty pediatric bitewing radiographs were retrospectively collected from the UBC Graduate Pediatric Dentistry program. Five pediatric dentistry residents independently reviewed the images across three sessions: (1) baseline assessment with ICDAS scoring and treatment selection, (2) repeat assessment after a 2-week washout, and (3) review of the same radiographs with AI-generated outputs after a second washout. Raters reassessed lesions, provided agreement ratings, and revised treatment decisions. Treatments were categorized as non-invasive (NI) or invasive (INV). Intra- and inter-rater reliability were calculated using Cohen’s Kappa, Gwet’s AC1, respectively. Direction and frequency of changes were analyzed to assess AI’s influence.

Results

Mean intra-rater reliability was good for lesion detection (κ = 0.79, SD = 0.25, CI = 0.54–0.97) and moderate for treatment decisions (κ = 0.62, SD = 0.32, CI = 0.33–0.91). Inter-rater reliability for treatment categorization was moderate (AC1 = 0.612, 95% CI: 0.379–0.844, p < 0.001). Raters disagreed with AI outputs in 54.6% of surfaces. Among AI-agreed cases, 42.4% of lesions were rated as more severe post-AI, 28.5% less severe, and 29.1% remained unchanged. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests showed a significant trend toward higher lesion severity ratings post-AI (p = 0.031). Using a pseudo-shift analysis, treatment plans were escalated in 18.6% of cases and de-escalated in 9%, a statistically significant shift (binomial test, p = 0.012).

Conclusions

Intra-rater reliability was moderate to good and inter-rater agreement was moderate for treatment categorization without AI-assistance. AI-assistance can shift clinicians’ perception of lesion severity and increases the likelihood of recommending more invasive treatments. These findings highlight the need for independent validation of AI tools before widespread clinical adoption. A larger study is underway, involving pediatric dentists with >10 years of experience, general dentists, and recent dental graduates; to assess how AI influences diagnostic reliability and treatment planning across experience levels.

Caregivers’ perceptions of financial barriers to receiving dental treatment under general anesthesia at BC Children's Hospital: A Quality Improvement/ Quality Assurance project.

Shabnam Milani and Joy M Richman

Pediatric Dentistry Specialty Program, Faculty of Dentistry, UBC

Objective: This study aimed to investigate caregivers’ perceptions of financial barriers to receiving pediatric dental treatments under general anesthesia at BC Children’s Hospital, and to explore how these barriers influence overall dental care experiences across diverse patient needs.

Methods: Primary caregivers of pediatric patients who had recent dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia (within the past year) were invited to participate. The survey was administered by Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) and responses were returned anonymously. Instruments included consent, demographics, dental care access, systemic medical conditions, private insurance, financial aids, affordability, financial impacts, additional barriers, future expectations, and general feedback. We compared responses between those with or without financial barriers using contingency analysis and Fisher’s exact test (Graphpad Prism v10.5).

Results: A total of 184 survey responses were collected in REDCap. The mean age of patients was 7.95 years (SD = 4.30). More respondents reported having financial barriers (n = 91) than those who had no financial barriers (n = 49). There was no significant difference in the complexity of the medical diagnosis between the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference between individuals who reported financial barriers and using private insurance (p > 0.05). Significantly more respondents with financial barriers reported delaying dental care, declining recommended treatment, and experiencing negative consequences due to lack of care (P < 0.0001). The Canadian Dental Care Plan was the most commonly used source of funding, although the majority of the respondents did not know whether their dentist accepted CDCP (n = 95 or 68.3%).

Conclusion: Caregivers at BC Children’s Hospital reported financial barriers for dental care and the consequences were delays in dental care due to declining the recommended treatment plan. Due to the lack of care, more negative consequences were reported. We identified a need for improved affordability, and broader access to support programs in British Columbia. We identified a communication gap between the dentists and caregivers about whether they take CDCP. This suggests that assessment of the CDCP should include surveys of caregivers in addition to dental providers and adult patients. The CDCP is a positive addition to the funding for dental care.

Cale, K., Oxner, J., Azarpazhooh, A., Singhal, S.

University of Toronto, Faculty of Dentistry

Background:

With the federal government’s announcement of the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) to include children from low- and middle-income families, it is essential to determine what needs will be addressed through the new program. Pediatric dentists would be most suitable in understanding the normative oral-health needs of children and subsequently, the services which are essential to be included in the program.

Objectives:

To determine what Canadian pediatric dentists perceive as the essential oral-health services that eligible children should have access to prior to the launch of the CDCP and to compare how much these services align with the CDCP released grids.

Methods:

A cross-sectional survey was administered electronically by the Canadian Association of Pediatric Dentists (CAPD) to eligible members, including certified pediatric dentists working in Canada or retired from practicing, comprising 297 potential respondents. With the funding support from the Canadian Paediatric Society, prize incentivization was offered to ten randomly selected respondents.

Results:

A total of 105 CAPD members participated in the survey (35% response rate); 84 completed the entire survey. More than half of the respondents were females, and the largest participation was from the 30–39-year-old age group, at 33.3%. Most respondents work in a private practice setting, a hospital setting or a combination of the two. Pediatric dentists emphasized through their responses that the health of deciduous teeth are equally as important as permanent teeth. Most of the services that were determined to be essential by respondents were aligned with the CDCP grids apart from a few exceptions. Mouth guards, preformed zirconia crowns, space maintainers, smoking cessation, oral hygiene instruction and nutritional counselling are examples of services that were not included in the CDCP but that respondents believe should be available with limitations or with a pre-authorization for appropriate candidates.

Conclusions:

Though the CDCP dental grids are mostly aligned with the services pediatric dentists perceive to be important for children, some important services are missing, and their inclusion is crucial in reducing the future burden of oral disease on society and the healthcare system. Consultation with pediatric dentists to ensure that normative oral-health needs of Canadian children are being met is necessary as future iterations of the CDCP are released.

The role of cell proliferation during human primary tooth morphogenesis.

Priyanka Sehgal* and Joy M. Richman

Faculty of Dentistry, University of British Columbia, Canada

Objectives: Our aims are to characterize proliferating cells in human teeth during the fetal period and to understand the molecular basis of morphogenesis in human primary teeth and early permanent teeth. There are notable gaps in the current literature pertaining to human tooth morphogenesis. There has been little quantification of proliferating cells in human teeth. Studies include only a few teeth, and most are limited to the bud or early cap stage. Addressing these gaps is essential to advance our understanding of human teeth development which will inform the mechanisms underlying tooth abnormalities.

Methods: Professor Virginia Diewert acquired the specimens for her research in the 1980’s and 90’s. The Richman lab took over the collection (UBC human ethics approval H22-02933). The specimens were embedded in paraffin and cut frontally (coronally) at 7 μm. Primary canines (n=6) and First molar (n = 15) from specimens ranging from 64 to 96 days were used for immunofluorescence staining. We used an antibody to proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) which labels cells in G1, M and S phases (rabbit anti-PCNA 1:1000, Abcam #18197). Nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33452. Slides were imaged and screenshots were exported to ImageJ for cell counts. A mask was made to define areas of the outer enamel epithelium and stellate reticulum. The number of PCNA+ cells were counted out of the total number. 2-way ANOVA and Tukey’s posthoc test were used for statistical analysis (Prism V10.5.0).

Results: The intra-rater reliability measured on two attempts was highly correlated (r=0.88). When all teeth were combined there was significantly higher proliferation was seen in the lingual outer enamel epithelium compared to the buccal outer enamel epithelium (Fig. 1). There was very little proliferation in the stellate reticulum (p=< 0.0001). There were no significant differences between the tooth types.

Conclusions: Higher proliferation on the lingual side than the buccal side coincides with successional lamina formation. This asymmetry in proliferation has not been reported previously. Permanent tooth abnormalities, such as agenesis, could therefore begin as early as 9–10 weeks gestation due to insufficient proliferation of the successional lamina formation. The very low proliferation in the stellate reticulum is surprising relative to the large amount of space taken up by this layer. Expansion and shape of the enamel organ therefore is dependent partially on cell proliferation and on extracellular matrix properties.

Funding: Supported by the Faculty of Dentistry, UBC


Figure 1 Percentage epithelial cell proliferation varies according to the location in the enamel organ. There is significantly higher proliferation in the lingual cells compared to the buccal. The data include 6 canines, 11 mandibular 1st primary molars and 4 maxillary first primary molars. The stellate reticulum has very low proliferation, less than 0.2% of cells are dividing. Key: bu – buccal, dl – dental lamina, li – lingual, m1 – first primary molar, oee – outer enamel epithelium, sl – successional lamina, sr – stellate reticulum. 2-way ANOVA, Tukey’s posthoc test.

Virtual vs. In-Person Pediatric Dental Consultations: Impact on Cost Estimation and Endodontic Treatment Planning.

Ruby Shah 1,2, Joy Richman1,2, Jolanta Aleksejuniene1, Ahmed Hieawy1,2

Faculty of Dentistry, University of British Columbia1, British Columbia Children’s Hospital2, Vancouver, Canada.

Objectives:

With the expansion of digital health services, virtual dental consultations have become an increasingly utilized tool for remote assessment and treatment planning. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of virtual and in-person dental consultations in estimating treatment costs and identifying endodontic treatment needs for pediatric patients undergoing full-mouth rehabilitation under general anesthesia. Additionally, it examined whether patient behavior influenced cost estimation accuracy during in-person consultations.

Methods:

A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients aged 2–17 years who received full-mouth dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia at BC Children’s Hospital between July 2020 and July 2021. Charts from selected months were reviewed. A total of 488 patients were included: 279 had in-person consultations and 209 had virtual consultations. Cost differentials between estimated and actual costs were compared using independent samples t-tests. Accuracy in identifying endodontic treatment needs was evaluated using chi-square tests. The influence of patient behavior, assessed using the Frankl Behavior Rating Scale, was analyzed via one-way ANOVA across behavior categories.

Results:

Overall, cost estimates were overestimated in 75% of cases across both consultation types. There was no statistically significant difference in mean cost differentials between in-person and virtual groups (p = 0.831). Endodontic treatment needs were overestimated in 80.6% of in-person and 71.6% of virtual consultations, with no significant difference in proportions (p = 0.160). Patient behavior, as assessed via the Frankl Scale, did not significantly affect the accuracy of cost estimation (p = 0.921).

Conclusion:

Virtual dental consultations showed comparable accuracy to in-person visits in estimating treatment costs and identifying endodontic needs for pediatric full-mouth rehabilitation. Both formats demonstrated a tendency to overestimate treatment, and patient behavior did not significantly affect planning accuracy. These findings support the use of virtual consultations as a reliable alternative to in-person visits for treatment planning, particularly when access to clinical care is limited. Further refinement in diagnostic protocols may help improve planning accuracy in both settings.
